Our vet removed a cancerous tumor from our yellow lab back in early 80's. he thankful got all of the tumor and the only thing we noticed that the skin in that area turned black. Bingo went on to live to be 24yrs!!
prayers to your pug!!

smokey... I know you've already made your decision and it's what I was going to suggest as well. Vets are trained for most things and in this case they will most likely do what a specialist would do... remove or biopsy the tumor and send it away for testing.

What exactly does a " wise " dog mean ? I have never heard of dog living to be 24 years old. My last black lab lived to be 16 years old when we has to put her down and the Vet told me that big dogs don't usually live that long.

when I was growing up we had a golden cocker spaniel named Ruff. He was an adult dog when Dad brought him home and I found out years later that he helped his sister when she was unable to keep him. He went on the train to where she lived and brought Ruff home in his bag. Ruff lived for a very long time... more than 20 years. Some dogs just don't seem to know when they are meant to go.

We rescued a maltese terrier that we named Kelly and I'm not sure she was "wise" but she was a very knowing dog. She knew when I was sad and she knew when I was sick and often nuzzled into the area where I felt bad... if I had a headache or a backache, she knew.

I love my computer because all my friends live inside it!

Milo did well. Lab results won't be available for a few days. He has staples that stay for 10-12 days. No bandage. My fear is his scratching it and having his nails catch in the staples.
We have a little shirt on him. Hope it does the trick.

Smokey, hoping and praying for the best. When our Murphy got sick last year, had emergency surgery, the T-shirt didnít work for him. We got a blow up tube that slipped over his head. Amazon has them. Very soft and your pup can sleep with it on. Sorry, I canít recall the name of it. It worked like a charm.

Bean & luvs, .he can't reach it to lick because it is sort of at his shoulder. They gave us the cone which we haven't used. The real problem is if he uses his hind leg to scratch.
He gets Benadryl every eight hours. Well, I gave him one last night and thought he was going to fall over. Really made him groggy. Dreading giving him more.
The basset goes for a recheck on his ears today (yeast infections) so will talk to the doc.
Thanks for all your kind thoughts.
